Sleep Token were one of the most talkedabout bands in heavy metal before Take Me Back To Eden even came out this year. When the masked cult’s third album dropped in May, it only deepened everybody’s love for the rising stars. Anthems like Chokehold and the ultra-viral The Summoning not only
broadened the band’s eclectic palate –featuring djent, pop, rap and funk –but carried an emotional authenticity even listeners outside the metal sphere could relate to. Frontman Vessel’s croons about love, loss and remorse were both beautifully written and gorgeously sung, giving the inevitable chunky riffs that followed an extra, cathartic heft. No doubt,
Take Me Back…
will be remembered as an essential work in the Sleep Token canon as they continue to ascend.
